Is Beyonce Loosing Her Popularity? Flop Singles, Flop Album
Ok, honestly that album wasn't bad at all. There are couple of songs that I considered as stand out. However, after almost six months on sales, the album already lost it heat despite having released about 5 or 6 singles. Yeahh you heard me, 6 singles in just six months.
Too many singles released in a short time span prove that Beyonce is desperate for HIT singles which she has NONE. Her highest charting single from this album is Best Thing I Never Had which peaked at number 16 on Billboard Hot 100. The rest, comfortably resting outside top 20. It is uncommon for Beyonce not to score any top ten singles with her first single. All of her debut singles from her previous album was top ten hits..
Beyonce of course is under pressure from her label which aspect her to deliver with this album. Her previous album, I Am... Sasha Fierce was a Huge HIT. Currently, 4 is certified Platinum in USA for shipment above 1 million copies and worldwide sales for the album is less than 2 million copies (USA included).
One thing to blame: MARKETING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on..... not just me.... alll people are confuse with the sequence of singles released by Beyonce. Beyonce was promoting Love On Top on mtv VMA, and we all assumed its her third single. However, then Countdown came in as Third Single plus with the video release. No video for love on top??????
But before that, you can already watch Beyonce 1 + 1 official video on her youtube VEVO. SO???... is that her single too??? Then, Party came in as the Fourth single along with the video premiere... Sooo where's Love On Top?????
Then, Finally, Love On Top debuted on YOUTUBE.... and press released stated that Love On Top as the 5th single????????????? Plus, the song already peaked at number 20 on Billboard Hot 100
Bad bad bad marketing... at that time, the song already lost its airplay already... What you were thinking Beyonce????
There's no proper flow in her single release and that cause A LOT of people are unaware of her new song. Plus, her decision to release Run The World as the first single is the major cause why the album FLOP....it kills the public interest in the first place...
The song is OK for me.. and shouldn't be released as the first single..probably 5th single is suitable.
Come Bey, look at Britney, Rihanna, Katy Perry, or even Gaga.... they all have on thing in common...which is FLOWWWWWWWWW.....
Her perfume ' Heat' might sold like a hot cake right now, but certainly her album 4 is already freezing outside Billboard Hot 200.
TheDivaJuice: Not planning to get 4 on itunes.... zero interest... but do have interest in Riri, Katy and Gaga album... already got Britney Femme Fatale on itunes.... maybe if 4 is discounted to 0.99 cents on itunes.. then I will get it... well, it works for Gaga on Amazon...
